A Good Day to Die Hard

John McClane travels to Russia after finding out that his estranged son is in prison. Things do not go as planned from there. A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth and (hopefully) final film in the Die Hard series feels kind of like it’s just going through the motions. Every action set piece and every twist and turn in the script feels like it was taken from one of the earlier Die Hard films. Any time there’s a moment between McClane and his son, it’s just, “bicker, bicker, bicker, joke, joke, joke and on to the next plot point.” There’s one decent car chase sequence in the film but, for the most part, it just feels like John McClane and his son have been shoehorned into a movie that’s completely unrelated to the Die Hard franchise.
